Although we enjoyed staying at the hotel it is important to realise that there is no on site parking, it seems there is normally street parking 50 metres up the road, not sure how it easy it would be to park "in season". Also you need to be aware that the rooms are up a steep flight of stairs, totally unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues. Saying that, the hotel is convenient to the port, the price is reasonable, the staff are friendly and the food in the bar is very good. The bar is underneath the rooms but we were not disturbed by any noises from below. There are also nice balconies which would be good in reasonable weather.

Great location for our early morning ferry to Skye however paper thin walls meant we barely slept. This was due to the loud football watchers in the pub below and next door shouting and cheering, followed by full volume music and singing(shouting) until around midnight (surprising on a Sunday evening) & another guest next door deciding to do shower karaoke. Lovely room and staff but lack of sleep ruined it I’m afraid

Great little place

Rooms are above the bar/restaurant and have some steep stairs so be prepared for that, the food in the restaurant is to die for

The bed was very uncomfortable. The puter door didnt close properly so caused a draft and made our bedroom door rattle constantly. Breakfast was very disappointing. The morning we left, our muffins which we had been given were actually mouldy.
